Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is organizing a group of cybersecurity experts who will meet with the president-elect's administration to prevent future online vulnerabilities.

“The idea here is to bring together corporate leaders and their technological people,” Giuliani said on “Fox & Friends.” “[The] president will meet with them on an ongoing basis, as well as anybody else in the administration.”

The former NYC mayor said he'll coordinate the entire operation.

Last year, Giuliani formally withdrew from consideration for Secretary of State in President-elect Donald Trump's administration.

Giuliani was a loyal Trump supporter throughout the presidential race, but removed himself from consideration on Nov. 29.

"The whole thing was becoming kind of very confusing and very difficult for the president-elect," he said. "My desire to be in the Cabinet was great, but not that great."

After leaving the government, Giuliani advised foreign political figures and worked for lobbying and security firms whose clients have had complicated relationships with the U.S. government. While not personally involved in lobbying, Giuliani spent years at firms that represented governments and multinational companies. He also made speeches demanding the State Department remove an Iranian opposition group from a U.S. terror blacklist.
